90-92 Barrel sample. Very jammy fruit, where the sweetness seems to dominate. It is accessible, the tannins open, opulent, with a ripe structure. It works though, as a rich wine.

90-92 Barrel sample. Big, ripe fruits, spiced with new wood, a big-hearted blackberry wine, sweet tannins, potentially generous.

90—92 Barrel sample. Fresh, rich, with attractive acidity and crisp, green apple and cream flavors. Well balanced, this wine shows excellent botrytis and sweetness properly together.

This shows tight lines and pretty aromas of wild cherry, spice, sweet fruit and blue flower. The palate delivers power and elegance.

While this is dry, it is enormously rich in orange and guava flavors, with an oaky overlay that tastes sweet in buttered toast and vanilla. Salmon or lamb with a fruity tapenade or salsa should make…
